Preventive measures can be taken to minimize the risk of abnormal epigenetic modifications:
Maternal Nutrition: Adequate nutrition during pregnancy can support proper fetal development and reduce the risk of epigenetic abnormalities. Avoidance of Toxins: Pregnant women should avoid exposure to environmental toxins like tobacco smoke, alcohol, and certain chemicals. Stress Management: Reducing maternal stress through counseling, social support, and relaxation techniques can positively impact fetal epigenetics.
